Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has issued a directive on detainment of contributions to the training of plastic surgery for postgraduate students watching masters in dental surgery (MDS) in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). The decision was announced on Saturday, addressed to the director of medical education (DME), vice -chairman or registrar Kaloji Narayan Rao Institute of Health Sciences (Knruhs) and directors of all medical faculties.
The letter emphasizes the mismatch concerning the practice of the aesthetic and procedures of hair transplantation from MDS-IRMS experts. In this matter, TGMC required clarification from the National Medical Commission (NMC).
In response to the NMC through its ethics and the Council for the Registration of the Medical Power (EMRB) listed in the letter of 13 June, that 6 December 2022, which could perform these procedures, could be issued a public announcement that could make these procedures, “without consulting EMRB”.
NMC instructions for aesthetic surgery and hair transplant procedures, issued on September 20, 2022, stated that hair transplant procedures that include skin slices must be performed properly by trained and licensed registered medical practitioners (RMP) of modern medicine.
In addition, NMC, which stressed that it is unethical to doctors to train individuals who are not accredited or licensed by healthcare workers to perform or help in these operations. Aesthetic procedures, including hair transplants, should only perform RMPs that have adequate training according to their curriculum.
The public announcement of the Dental Council (DCI) noted the Indian (DCI) notification that oral and maxillofacial surgeons registered on any State Dental Council in India could perform aesthetic and transplant procedures. This announcement is now replaced by the clarification of the NMC that it has been released without their consultation.
